Early in the morning, Gu He woke up with a headache.
So has the talent test ended? How many grades did you get?
He only remembered that after Captain Lorna and the others left, he returned to the sofa and fell asleep soon after. He didn't even watch the underwear show of the supermodel competition.
"It seems like something else happened?" He thought hard, but it was as if he was drunk and had lost consciousness and couldn't remember.
Fan Debao didn't know where he went. He walked around the hall and went to the bathroom to wash up. He still didn't see the short and fat figure. He probably went to Li Cai's place.
The wooden door of the izakaya was opened, but the outer glass sliding door was not opened, and there was a sign saying "Open later".
It was just dawn, and the rain that had fallen all night had stopped. Rain was still dripping from the eaves, lanterns and neon signs.
The messy neon lights in the alleys and streets have been coldly extinguished, like all the ghosts of the night dispersed.
Without the rain, the alley is not much cooler than the street. Although there is no traffic, it is also a noisy scene with people coming and going.
A street singer passed by the door of the store, then a group of gang members with tattoos on their faces, office workers carrying briefcases, a scantily clad young girl smoking a cigarette, and a spouting preacher in ragged clothes.
The homeless man...
Gu He looked at it for a while, then turned around and walked into the small kitchen through the denim door of the bar. He found a thermos for guests and made himself a cup of wolfberry water.
Drinking alcohol is harmful to the body, but wolfberry nourishes the liver and protects the kidneys.
As a doctor, he knows very well the principle of not maintaining good health when you are young, and taking care of yourself as a doctor when you are old. You must start drinking wolfberry water from a young age.
Drinking the warm wolfberry water, he found the remote control from the bar and turned on the wooden box TV.
"Is Santo Company the big conglomerate here?"
Gu He had discovered it a long time ago, and there were three vines and three vines everywhere.
There is an all-in-one desktop computer in the kitchen. There is no mouse, the keyboard is embedded in the machine, and a 12-inch monochrome monitor.
Computers, TVs, karaoke machines and other equipment all have the same trademark, which is three intertwined green vines.
However, on these trademarks, middle fingers, crosses and some insulting swear words were drawn. Lao Fan and others seemed to hate Santo Company very much, but they had to use these devices.
The morning news is playing on the small TV screen:
"The Supreme Court made a ruling and Santo won the antitrust case."
"Santo releases the first generation of built-in modem laptops, the Internet era has arrived"
"The unemployment rate in Chengzhai District, Lannitang District and other places hit record highs, and the mayor promised to improve the situation."
Gu He sat on the sofa and read a few pieces of news to make sure that some of his judgments were correct.
The technological level of this world is really like that of the 1980s, but in some aspects it is much more advanced.
"The gap between rich and poor here is huge..."
He frowned and looked at the scene of the slums, slums, unfinished buildings, landfills, dirty children, and gang members with fierce looks on TV in the "Slush Pond District". It was really shocking.
But when the news about Santo Company was broadcast just now, the image was of the "Garden District", one of the wealthy areas in the city, with neat streets, skyscrapers, beautiful garden villas, various schools, hospitals, art galleries, etc.
.
Santo Corporation is indeed a large consortium, forming the so-called "New World Bank" with other major corporate consortiums.
The New World Bank firmly controls Flowing City and blocks all upward channels.
Ordinary people spend their whole lives working as cows and horses, and may end up dying alone in a garbage dump on the street.
There is an old saying on the street: They are in heaven, we are in the mud, and we all have a bright future.
As for himself, he is even worse than ordinary people. He is a wild dog.
When Gu He saw the next news item, he almost couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of wolfberry water, choking and coughing.
“Police busted an organ truck and more than 100 smugglers died”
This refrigerated truck was found in the Lundi pond area. The truck was filled with the mutilated bodies of stowaways. Their kidneys, corneas and other valuable organs had been removed. The police suspected that the case was related to the Lundi Gang.
It wasn't Brother Zhuang and the others who did it. Could it be that the victims were those same companions from yesterday?
Gu He scratched his head, no, Brother Zhuang is a game gang, not a mud gang...
First of all, there are twenty-nine districts in Liuguang City.
The Lannigang Gang is in Lannitang District, and this is Jue Street in Kabukicho District, so okay, okay.
"But, as a wild dog..."
Gu He already knew that no one really cared about the death of a few wild dogs in Liuguang City. If less than a hundred died at one time, it would not be considered news.
No, I must hug Ayin-san’s thigh tightly...
If you can't become a cowherd, you don't have Miss Caiyin to help you get a legal identity.
He may fall into the clutches of the Game Gang again, and removing kidneys and cows is no longer just a threat.
"God damn it." Gu He hugged the thermos cup tightly, wondering how he had ended up in such a world.
I really want to go back, there are family, friends, and safety there...
After a long while, he sighed and took a sip of wolfberry water. Mentality is very important. At the moment, it is best to just lie down and let things go.
"What happened to last night's test results?"
Gu He recalled carefully that when Captain Lorna and the others left, he was still stable, and the whirlpool of light in his mind kept showing "neural overdrive".
Speaking of which, the hallucination was quite real.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the rotating light vortex appeared in his mind again.
"What the hell?" Gu He was so frightened that he changed from sitting paralyzed to sitting upright. The wolfberry water in his hand no longer smelled good.
Why is this hallucination still there, the sequelae of fragmentation?
As soon as he focused on the light whirlpool, a brilliant blue and purple light overflowed uncontrollably, just like the glare caused by the glare of a city advertising screen.
When the brilliant light fell, an old-fashioned electronic panel emerged from the original light vortex.
The panel was about the size of a keyboard, with a layer of misty light and shadow covering the surface. It seemed that it had not been fully activated. Only a few light bars like program progress bars and some buttons could be vaguely seen on the panel.
The only buttons that can be clearly seen at the moment are:
【database】
【Compiler】
【share】
"Good guy, go away, monsters and monsters..."
Gu He hurriedly shook his head as if to save himself, but he could not dispel these clear hallucinations.
He couldn't help but remember that he had traveled through time due to a leakage of electricity from his computer. The panel really felt like a computer console.
Could it be that a plug-in is online?
But, but!
As a psychiatrist who is proficient in applied psychology and psychiatry, I also like to read "Madness and Civilization". The first thing that comes to mind is not that I have encountered an adventure, but...
"I'm not going crazy, am I?"
Gu He looked at the console panel in his mind blankly.
If the patient has any hallucinations and the psychiatrist believes them to be true, then he will soon no longer be a doctor, but will become the younger brother of the "World President", "Alien World Liaison Officer", "Reincarnated Emperor" and other strange people...
Even time travel can be a mental issue.
"Reduplicative Paramnesia"
This is a rare form of mental illness. The symptom is that the patient firmly believes that some things around him have been changed, such as his spouse has been changed, his hometown is another place, and even worse, he believes that the entire world has been changed.
After a while, the illusion in my mind still remained unchanged.
Gu He had no choice but to explore carefully, but neither the [Database] nor the [Compiler] could be opened.
He tried clicking the [Share] button again...
Suddenly, unexpectedly, some information boxes flickered past:
"No shared contacts available"
"The number of shared contacts that can be created currently is: 1"
"Creating new sharing contact"
For a moment, all kinds of strange lights rushed through Gu He's mind, and his nerves boiled. All the scenes in the room around the sofa were pulled into gorgeous and solidified light and shadow by the speed.
He seemed to have entered another dimension, and he could clearly feel that the console was connected to another brain at a distance...
An indescribable feeling, a slim figure loomed in the light and shadow in front of me, it was a woman.
She seemed to be sitting on the ground, looking around, looking shocked and at a loss.
"Who are you..." Sure enough, a female voice came from the other side, but the signal was very poor. The voice was mixed in with the buzzing sound like a video cassette. It was difficult to hear the other party's voice clearly, and it seemed that it would be disconnected at any time. "Here Is it...a psychic network?"
Crazy, I’m really crazy...
Gu He was even more shocked than she was. Words such as dissociative disorder, schizophrenia, and paranoia flashed through his mind.
Listening to her words, it seemed as if I was really connected to her soul, just like a video call.
But he is more inclined to think that he is crazy and has another personality, talking to himself.
The cassette-like chirping sound is still there, the connection has not been disconnected, but the other party is also cautiously silent.
After a stalemate for a while, the female voice suddenly said again:
"Did Santo Company send you here? I don't know how you could do this, but I will continue to investigate and will not give in."
Uh, girl, who are you, where are you, what are you talking about?
Gu He's head was full of questions and he said tentatively: "I've been watching you for a long time, I've been watching you for a long time..."
